∙ 9y agoThe two atmospheric layers where temperatures decrease with increasing altitudes are:
The troposphere (the layer of the earth that we live in) - As you increase height, you reach areas of the atmosphere that have fewer and fewer air molecules (which means the air is less dense) because gravity is keeping the majority of air molecules closer to the ground. So, at higher altitudes, the air is less able to store heat.
The mesosphere - This is due to decreasing solar heating and increasing cooling by CO2 radiative emission.

Where does the temperature stay constant with increasing altitude?
Isothermal layer
Which layer contain weather?
The layer of the atmosphere that contains weather is the troposphere. It is the lowest layer of the atmosphere where temperature decreases with increasing altitude and where most weather phenomena occur, including clouds, precipitation, and wind.
What is the temperature of the ozone layer?
The ozone layer is located in the lower stratosphere. The stratosphere has increasing temperature with increasing altitude. Today (2009mar09), the bottom of the stratosphere is about -45°C at the North pole, and about -65°C over the USA. Likewise for the South pole, it is about -45°C and over Australia it is about -75°C. See the link below for more infomation.
What layer does the jet stream flow below?
The main jet streams are located near the tropopause, the transition between the troposphere (where temperature decreases with altitude) and the stratosphere(where temperature increases with altitude).
How did the layers of atmosphere form?
The layers of the atmosphere did not form. The layers are artificial concepts applied based on changes in temperature in the gases found at different altitudes. Its one mass, and solar radiation drives the "formation".Sunlight completely ionizes the exosphere, and the temperature increases with increasing altitude.The atmosphere is dense enough to be able to radiate heat, and recombination of molecules occurs in the mesosphere, and temperature decreases with decreasing altitude.The stratosphere absorbs the lion's share of UV-C and UV-B, ozone is formed (the ozone layer), and the temperature increases with decreasing altitude.The troposphere has a sudden cold gap just under the stratosphere (not enough absorbed energy to heat it, but plenty dense enough to lose heat by radiation), and the air gets hotter with decreasing altitude until it comes in contact with the Earth's surface.
Where does the temperature stay constant with increasing altitude?
Isothermal layer
If the depth of the layer between 1000mb and 500mb is increasing with time if the surface temperature likely to be increasing or decreasing?
Assuming the depth of the layer is restricted to between 1000mb and 500mb, and increasing with time, it is almost certain that the surface temperature will remain constant, thus not increasing or descreasing.
Is the stratosphere?
The stratosphere is the layer above the troposphere (where we live). The ozone layer is found in the lower stratosphere. The stratosphere is the lowest layer where temperature increases with increasing altitude.
When does temperature occur?
A layer in the atmosphere in which temperature increases with altitude.
Is the ozone increasing decreasing or staying the same?
Ozone gas is present in the ozone layer. It is decreasing due to man made ODS.
Which layer contain weather?
The layer of the atmosphere that contains weather is the troposphere. It is the lowest layer of the atmosphere where temperature decreases with increasing altitude and where most weather phenomena occur, including clouds, precipitation, and wind.
In which layer does temperature decrease as altitude increases?
Temperature will decrease as the altitude increases at all levels due to the thinning of atmospheric gasses.
The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. How does temperature change with altitude in the troposphere?
Temperature decreases as altitude increases.
What is the temperature of the ozone layer?
The ozone layer is located in the lower stratosphere. The stratosphere has increasing temperature with increasing altitude. Today (2009mar09), the bottom of the stratosphere is about -45°C at the North pole, and about -65°C over the USA. Likewise for the South pole, it is about -45°C and over Australia it is about -75°C. See the link below for more infomation.
How does the temperature change within the stratosphere?
The temperature changes within the stratosphere with increasing distance from the earth. The temperature increases with altitude, reaching a maximum of about 2 degrees Celsius This is unlike the troposphere, where the temperature decreases with increasing altitude. The heating is caused by the ozone layerbecause as it absorbs solar radiation, the heat around the ozone layer charges the particles in the upper stratosphere as it releases some energy, increasing its temperature. This is also simply known as conduction. Unlike the troposphere, the stratosphere is generally stable, and the warmer air does not cool down and fall like how it does in the troposphere.
Which layer of the atmosphere has increasing temperature?
bec. of the gravity of the earth
Which layer is temperature increasing with increasing altitude?
The layer in which temperatures increase with elevation is the troposphere. This is the layer above the surface of the Earth. The troposphere contains half of the Earth's atmosphere. Weather occurs in this layer.
